Hollywood beauty Cameron Diaz has tied the knot with Good Charlotte rocker Benji Madden.

The pair said their vows at the Annie star's Beverly Hills pad in front of close friends and family last evening, reported Us magazine.

The wedding was attended by celebrity guests including Reese Witherspoon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Samantha Ronson and Robin Antin.

Benji's nephew, Joel Madden and Nicole Richie's son, Sparrow served as the ring bearer.

Joining Diaz, 42, as her bridesmaids were her friends Richie, Drew Barrymore, her sister Chimene and assistant Jesse Lutz.

The event was orchestrated by wedding planners Yifat Oren and Stefanie Cove and featured flowers from The Velvet Garden -- all companies used by Diaz's longtime friend and Charlie's Angels costar Barrymore in her June 2012 wedding to Will Kopelman.

Before saying "I do", the couple celebrated with a rehearsal dinner catered by Lucques at the star's Beverly Hills pad on January 4.

The couple got engaged on December 19 after dating for seven months.

Actors Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have reportedly welcomed their first child over the Christmas holidays.

Lively, 27, announced her pregnancy on her lifestyle website, Preserve, and she kicked off a series of stylish ensembles that showed off her growing belly, reported People magazine.

However, the famously private couple have yet to publicly announce the arrival of their firstborn, but reports suggest that Lively gave birth just before the New Year close to their home in Bedford.

The actress and her husband Reynolds tied the knot in September 2012.
